Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Os efeitos dos agentes bloqueadores neuromusculares sobre a junção neuromuscular são aumentados pelos anestésicos voláteis. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência do sevoflurano e do isoflurano na recuperação do bloqueio neuromuscular produzido pelo cisatracúrio. MÉTODO: Foram estudados 90 pacientes, estado físico ASA I e II, submetidos à cirurgias eletivas sob anestesia geral, distribuídos em três grupos: Grupo I (sevoflurano), Grupo II (isoflurano) e Grupo III (propofol). Todos os pacientes receberam como medicação pré-anestésica, midazolam (0,1 mg.kg-1) por via muscular, 30 minutos antes da cirurgia. A indução anestésica foi obtida com alfentanil (50 µg.kg-1), propofol (2,5 mg.kg-1) e cisatracúrio (0,15 mg.kg-1). Os pacientes foram ventilados com oxigênio a 100% sob máscara até o desaparecimento das quatro respostas a SQE, quando foram realizadas as manobras de laringoscopia e intubação traqueal. Os agente voláteis para a manutenção da anestesia foram introduzidos logo após a intubação traqueal e empregados nas concentrações de 2% e 1%, respectivamente para o sevoflurano e isoflurano, e o propofol em infusão contínua (7 a 10 mg.kg-1.h-1). Em todos os pacientes empregou-se a mistura de oxigênio e óxido nitroso a 50%. A função neuromuscular foi monitorizada por aceleromiografia do músculo adutor do polegar, empregando-se a SQE a cada 15 segundos. Foram avaliados: a duração clínica do bloqueio neuromuscular (T1(25%)) e o índice de recuperação (IR= T1(25-75%)). RESULTADOS: Os tempos médios e desvios padrão para a duração clínica (T1(25%)) e índice de recuperação (IR = T1(25-75%)) foram respectivamente: Grupo I (66,2 ± 13,42 min e 23,6 ± 5,02 min), Grupo II (54,4 ± 6,58 min e 14,9 ± 3,82 min) e Grupo III (47,2 ± 7,43 min e 16,2 ± 2,93 min). Em relação à duração clínica houve diferença significante entre os grupos I e II, I e III, e II e III. Para o índice de recuperação houve diferença significante entre o grupo I e os demais grupos. CONCLUSÕES: A recuperação do bloqueio neuromuscular produzido pelo cisatracúrio foi mais lenta durante a anestesia com os agentes voláteis do que com o propofol, sendo o efeito mais pronunciado com o sevoflurano.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The effects of neuromuscular blockers on the neuromuscular junction are potentiated by volatile anesthetics. This study aimed at evaluating the influence of sevoflurane and isoflurane on the recovery of cisatracurium- induced neuromuscular block. METHODS: Ninety ASA I and II patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia were included in this study. Patients were allocated in three groups: Group I (sevoflurane), Group II (isoflurane) and Group III (propofol). All patients were premedicated with intramuscular midazolam (0.1 mg.kg-1) 30 min before surgery. Anesthesia was induced with alfentanil (50 µg.kg-1), propofol (2.5 mg.kg-1) and cisatracurium (0.15 mg.kg-1). Patients were then ventilated under mask with 100% O2 until disappearance of all TOF responses when laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation were performed. Volatile agents for anesthetic maintenance were introduced immediately after tracheal intubation in 2% and 1% concentrations, respectively, for sevoflurane and isoflurane, as well as the propofol continuous infusion (7 to 10 mg.kg-1.h-1) for Group III. All patients received a 50% mixture of O2 and N2O. Neuromuscular function was monitored by adductor pollicis muscle acceleromyography with TOF stimulation at 15-second intervals. Clinical duration of neuromuscular block (T1(25%)) and recovery index (RI=T1(25-75%)) were evaluated. RESULTS: Mean time and standard deviation for clinical duration (T1(25%)) and recovery index (RI=T1(25-75%)) were respectively: Group I (66.2 ± 13.42 min and 23.6 ± 5.02 min), Group II (54.4 ± 6.58 min and 14.9 ± 3.82 min) and Group III (47.2 ± 7.43 min and 16.2 ± 2.93 min). There were significant differences in clinical duration between Groups I and II, I and III and II and III. There was a significant difference in recovery index between Group I and the other groups. CONCLUSIONS: The recovery from cisatracurium-induced neuromuscular block was longer during anesthesia with volatile agents as compared to propofol. The most pronounced effect was observed with sevoflurane.
